Damn.... Now I gotta look for another one... The one pictured above is in Pa... Took a quick ride across the Delaware yesterday with a friend to check if the Feds planted corn along the river... This week is archery and muzzy season for bears there, so I was considering going, but no corn so guess I won't go... So as I was driving I spotted it and hit the brakes... Friends like: See a bear??? No a hornets nest for Denny... He's like what, your not putting that in the truck... I'm like NO... So naturally it's surrounded by multi-flora bushes... They got me more than the hornets....
They seem to be a hot item... You have your eye on one and go back to get it and it's gone... I see a few every year... I know where there is a very big one... However it's 30-40 feet directly above a very busy road....
Don’t wait that long or it will be damaged by weather and animals. First real cold morning (doesn’t have to be frost) go up to it and slip a trash bag over it and seal with tie wraps. Cut the branch. Put another trash bag over it and tie wrap. Hang in the barn or garage for a year (anything inside that didn’t die at the first frost will overwinter and come out in the spring…everything will be dead in a year). DO NOT set it on the ground. The nest will be flat on the side that touches the ground. It is very important that you hang it in the rafters.I'm thinking getting that thing down is a February project. Angry Hornets just don't play nice.
I’ve seen it done but I don’t. It looks good natural. As long as it’s indoors, it’ll be fine.
